#5919 — help with batch code to create subfolders inside each folder of a directory and then copy parent folder contents to subfolder

Please, I need some help... I have a folder with around 6000 subfolders with images inside them, each subfolder has a different number of images, and some of them have 0 images also. now i need to create another 2 subfolders inside each subfolder, naming these new subfolders with the names "medium" and "thumbs" and copy inside these subfolders the images that are present in the parent folder. Example: lets say i have a folder named 1000 with 10 images inside it, named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg etc until 10.jpg. I need to create a folder named "medium" and a folder named "thumbs" inside the folder named 1000, and copy the images that are present in the folder 1000 to both new subfolders "1000/medium" and "1000/thumbs". And i need to do this with something like 6000 folders.

i am not a programmer, I am trying to accomplish this and I have been reading the HELP section of the FOR command, execdir command, mkdir, cp command. I also asked for help in other websites and until now I am still lost, and trying to write a code like this:

	for /r "c:\folders" %%a in (.) do ( pushd %%a -iname '*.jpg' -execdir \ bash -c 'mkdir -p thumbs medium; mv *.jpg medium; cp -t thumbs medium/*' \; ) popd )

In Bash you can do it like this (assuming that all the image files end
in ".jpg"):

    for folder in * ; do
        for subfolder in medium thumbs ; do
            mkdir "${folder}/${subfolder}"
            cp -p "${folder}"/*.jpg "${folder}/${subfolder}/"
        done
    done

Greetings,

Jacob
